[rspec-devel] Rspec blowing away my initial data

[weexpectedthis]

Fixtures are evil, at least in my opinion.  And this isn't data I want loaded
in each test, it's data that is basically storing constants in my database. 
I need this to be in the migration, but I don't want to have to enter the
data in the migration and in a fixture as well.
